Just when the main force was in ruins, the situation facing Wang Chang was also critical.

The power in his hands was too weak, facing Zheng Zhilong's main force like a swarm of locusts, he could no longer resist even with all his strength.

Of the twenty-five warships, eight were sunk and five were badly damaged.

Even Zheng's warships rushed up, and boarding battles took place one after another.

It's just that what Zheng's pirates didn't expect was that the boarding battle they were proud of didn't take advantage of it.

The warships on both sides collided with each other, Zheng's pirates picked up their melee weapons, and before they rushed over, they were beaten into a hornet's nest by the hail of bullets from here.

In addition, Xia Jun's soldiers threw grenades over for free.

If it was a cannonball, if it exploded at such a close distance, even Xia Jun's warship would be destroyed.But the power of the grenade is limited, so there is no need to worry about it.

Not only did Zheng's pirates fail to set foot on Xia Jun's warship, they couldn't even stand on their own deck.

As long as someone dares to show his face, he will either be shot or bombed by a grenade.

After the brave soldiers of the Xia Army drove Zheng's pirates into the cabin, they quickly cut the ropes while throwing oil on Zheng's warship.

Then two torches were thrown over, and Zheng's warship fell into raging fire.

Xia Jun's battleship took the opportunity to disengage and returned to the fighting state.

But even so, in order to find a new position, Xia Jun's battleship had to retreat back to make room.

For the Xia Kingdom Navy, which has strict formation requirements, if one warship retreats, all warships must retreat.

This also made Zheng's fleet overwhelmed a lot.

Just as Wang Chang was trying to rearrange, a desperate cry came from the watchtower.

"Detachment Captain, there is also Zheng's warship rushing over from behind."

Wang Chang's whole body was cold, and all his fighting spirit began to dissipate.

He had promised Zuo Hua that even if they were all killed in battle, he would never let Zheng Zhilong's main force rush over.

In the end, he didn't expect that he could persist on his side, but there was an accident on the main force's side.

He turned his head with difficulty, and saw more than a dozen Zheng's warships rushing towards them at an incomparable speed.

With such kinetic energy, I am afraid that there is no need for artillery battles.As long as they collide with their warships, the ship may be destroyed.

But the matter has come to this point, Wang Chang has nothing to do.

All the strength of the squadron was devoted to the front, and there was no protection for the back, and it was too late to deal with it.

"Brothers, life and death are a matter of fate, but our mission must not go wrong. Even before dying, these pirates must be splashed with blood."

The officers and soldiers of the Xia army had no time to be sad and angry, and they all accelerated their speed, just hoping to throw as much firepower as possible on Zheng's warship.

"Detachment Captain, the situation is wrong. The ships behind seem to be fleeing."

The watchtower delivered information again, but it seemed as if the spring breeze passed and the dark clouds dissipated.

Wang Changzhen was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years, so he couldn't help cursing.

"You bastard, how dare you lie about the military situation at this time? Show me carefully, what's going on?"

The lookout was scolded a lot, and he was so embarrassing that he hurriedly reported the situation.

"Those boats were really running away, you see, they all turned."

At this time, Wang Chang had already noticed.

The Zheng's warships coming from the north had no intention of colliding with Xia Jun's formation.Instead, when the bow of the boat turned, it actually wanted to jump past both sides of Xia Jun's formation.

How is this going?

Before he could figure it out, the lookout's voice suddenly became excited.

"Our ship! A lot of big ships! The main force has won and is approaching us."

Wang Chang only felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and the heavy burden of Qianjin was suddenly lightened.

He picked up the binoculars and looked north.

I saw in the camera, one after another, three-tier battleships pushing the sea water back at an extremely fast speed, and the figures became clearer and clearer.

When he saw a total of six third-tier battleships approaching, Wang Chang couldn't help laughing.

"Let me just say, with the commander's ability, how could he lose?"

After such a short time, the other ships also got the information.

"Long live!"

"We are victorious!"

All kinds of shouts made the officers and soldiers of the Xia Kingdom, who were going through life and death, wantonly vent their joy.

This situation was also heard by the Zheng pirates who were close at hand.

Zheng Zhilong was in doubt.

"What happened? What are these summer thieves shouting?"

Someone who heard it more clearly said: "They seem to be cheering for victory."

Zheng Zhilong's blood surged up.

"The outcome is not decided, how dare they cheer?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and his expression changed involuntarily.

Just at this time, the shouts of the scouts proved his guess.

"Master Hou, Xia Guo's warships are all big ships, and they are coming."

Zheng Zhilong looked into the distance, but could only see thick smoke on the sea.Even the shadow of the Xia Guo Squadron in front of him was blurred, let alone others.

However, the panicked shouts of Zheng's ships rushing to the forefront obviously indicated that the situation seemed to have changed unfavorably.

Before he was allowed to obtain more information, he saw that the warships that had been fighting endlessly in front began to retreat one after another.

"What's going on? Why did you leave?"

All Zheng Zhilong's questions were drowned out by the overwhelming artillery fire.

Such intensive bombardment obviously could not have been launched by the Xia Guo Squadron.

Zheng Zhilong's body shook for a while, and he understood everything.

It happened that those warships fleeing from the north rushed forward and informed him of the crisis of the situation.

"Master Hou, this battle can no longer be fought. Xia Guo actually hid soldiers in ambush. Apart from the four big ships, there are six other ships. The fourth master is missing, and our big ship was also blown up, a complete defeat. Brother We can't hold it anymore, let's go!"

Looking at the chaos on the sea, Zheng Zhilong was really sad and indignant.

He really wanted to ask.

"Xia Guo obviously only has four new warships, so where did the other six come from?"

There is no need for him to ask, nor for the people below to answer.

The Xia Guo Squadron suddenly split to both sides, revealing the gap in the middle.

Then he really saw that six tall and majestic new warships, like castles on the sea, broke into the battlefield.

These warships are so brand new, not a single place has been damaged, definitely not the four new warships that have been dealing with them for a day.

Regardless of where these six new ships came from, the emergence of such a force in the battle situation completely indicated that the Zheng family had completely failed.

Seeing his own warships being destroyed one after another on the sea, Zheng Zhilong wanted to vomit blood.

But in times of crisis, he, the backbone, must not fall down.

"Tell the third master to stop these reinforcements. The rest of the ministries should quickly withdraw to the south."
